it does feel surreal, looks even more so

remember, always
we can rebuild, restore, return and change in the future

we must insure that this never happens again and all of those responsible (directly or simply enabling) are held accountable and never given voice again…after real (die in) jail time.

This is the statement the Department of Justice in the Trump administration released in regards to the University of Virginia's capitulation to authoritarianism.
The United States Department of Justice FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WWW.JUSTICE.GOV/NEWS October 22, 2025 The Justice Department Announces Agreement with University of Virginia WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with the University of Virginia ("UVA") that will protect UVA's students, faculty, and employees from violations of federal civil rights laws, including from discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin. As part of the agreement, the University of Virginia agrees to be bound by the Department of Justice's "Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination," ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities. UVA will provide relevant information and data to the Department of Justice on a quarterly basis through 2028. The President of UVA will personally certify each quarter that UVA is in compliance with the agreement. The Department will pause its pending investigations into the university's admissions policies and other civil rights concerns. The United States shall treat UVA as eligible for future grants and awards. If UVA completes its planned reforms prohibiting DEI at the university, the Department will close its investigations against UVA. "This notable agreement with the University of Virginia will protect students and faculty from unlawful discrimination, ensuring that equal opportunity and fairness are restored," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. "We appreciate the progress that the university has made in combatting antisemitism and racial bias, and other American universities should be on alert that the Justice Department will ensure that our federal civil rights laws are enforced for every American, without exception." ###

Enjoy that…I’m surrounded by a sea of red in my little Florida trailer park near the beach…
I don’t hide, but I don’t browbeat either. I also help out and am a good neighbor.

I ask this question frequently:
How much worse does it have to get? The retaliation is gonna come, it’s already here for so many…

There are more of us than there are of them.

Although I am proud to have graduated from The University, specifically the Curry School, of this I am not.

The Commonwealth’s role in slavery fostered was by its early leaders…I see Jefferson’s mentality leading to breeding farms of the 1800’s in VA.

now, release the #EpsteinFiles

Today in history, 1796: An editorial is published accusing presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson of having a sexual relationship with one of his slaves. The editorial was published under the pseudonym “Phocion,” and has often been attributed to Alexander Hamilton. /1
